The 'Yes Honey' meme, often referred to as 'Honey, it’s 4 PM,' originated on 4chan in late 2019. It typically depicts a distressed, hollow-eyed Wojak character responding to his female counterpart's demands. Originally a parody of 'dick flattening' jokes, the meme quickly evolved to represent the feeling of being drained by repetitive tasks, demanding relationships, or corporate burnout. Its popularity exploded as it became a relatable symbol for anyone feeling powerless against the grind of modern life or specific video game mechanics.
